Remembering Abba, at "Fete de La Musique"

June 21: Fete de la Musique!!

This music festival and now also World Music Day is a festival that originated in France but soon spread to many other countries and became a worldwide festival! Unfortunately, the UAE is not a country where the Music Festival is popular but I know that Lebanon is where it always takes place! Every year, bands, performers and musicians gather in Beirut to play music all night long... All genres of music are played, from Rock to Jazz to Pop and everyone will find something to enjoy!

In the occassion of Music Day, I would like to share with you the lyrics of the song: The Winner Takes It All by Abba. This classic song is one I really admire and Abba is a band I respect. Let us remember history's most amazing POP band and enjoy its music.

The Winner Takes It All Lyrics:

I don’t wanna talk
About the things we’ve gone through
Though it’s hurting me
Now it’s history
I’ve played all my cards
And that’s what you’ve done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That’s her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I’d be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It’s simple and it’s plain
Why should I complain.

But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all

I don’t wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You’ve come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all......
